PREMARITAL AGREEMENT

This Premarital Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by ALLISON


GELBE (“ALLISON”), a single woman of Little Elm, Texas, and MARK PINKUS,
(“MARK”), a single man of Little Elm, Texas, (sometimes referred to singularly as “Party”
or collectively as “Parties”). This Agreement will take effect on the Parties’ completion of
all legal formalities required for the recognition of a formal marriage (“Marriage”).

Stipulations and Recitals

ALLISON and MARK are not currently married and have never been married, but
intend to marry each other on or about December 20, 2008.

It is the desire of ALLISON and MARK that conflicts regarding financial matters
be minimized during their planned marriage, and this Agreement is intended to prevent
such conflicts. ALLISON and MARK desire to fix and determine by this Agreement the
rights and claims that will accrue to each of them in the estate and property of the other by
reason of the marriage, and to accept the provisions of this Agreement in lieu of and in full
discharge, settlement, and satisfaction of all such rights and claims.

By this Agreement, ALLISON and MARK intend to specify their respective


ownership interests in property that each of them owns before their Marriage and that each
of them may acquire during their Marriage. This Agreement is based on the current version
of Texas Constitution article 16, section 15, and the applicable sections of the Texas Family
Code. This Agreement alters what each Party’s marital-property rights would be
without this Agreement and the claims each Party may maintain against the other
and against property rights or interests of the other Party. Accordingly, this
Agreement alters the ownership, division and distribution of assets and rights upon
cessation of the Parties’ marriage by death or divorce.

ALLISON and MARK acknowledge that there has not been, and there is not
currently, any agreement between them about their property or income.

ALLISON and MARK acknowledge that neither of them has any claim to the
property or income of the other, and no such claim has ever been made.

ALLISON and MARK currently respectively own certain property and expect to
acquire additional property in the future through gift, devise, bequest, inheritance,
employment, investment earnings, and otherwise.

By this Agreement, ALLISON and MARK intend to do the following:

______________ PREMARITAL AGREEMENT ___________


A.G. Page 1 M.P.
1. identify clearly as his or her respective separate property the property that is
owned or claimed by each of them at the time of the Marriage;

2. acknowledge that all property that may come to either of them by gift, devise,
bequest, or inheritance during the Marriage, including but not limited to any
distributions of income or principal that may be received by a Party from a
gifted or inherited trust or an estate that the Party is a beneficiary of, is the
separate property of the Party receiving it;

3. partition and exchange between themselves certain types of property


expected to be acquired by the Parties during the Marriage;

4. acknowledge that each Party retains and has sole management, control, and
disposition rights over his or her separate property;

5. waive certain rights that either of them, or the survivor of them, could claim
to the property or the estate of the other;

6. avoid the accumulation of any community property during their marriage;

7. agree that the character of all assets and property interests designated in this
Agreement as the separate property of a Party will be preserved as separate
property during and after the Marriage, and any enhanced value of such
separate property resulting from the time, toil and talent of either party, as
well as any property or monies furnished from any source, for the
enhancement or maintenance of such property, shall accrue to such separate
property estate without any right of reimbursement to either party or to either
party’s separate estate for such enhancement or maintenance; and

8. waive any rights that either of them may have that the other party has not
been properly compensated by an entity owned or controlled by such other
party.

In consideration of the mutual love and respect between the parties; in consideration
of the mutual promises, agreements, partitions, exchanges, conveyances, releases, waivers,
and assignments contained in this Agreement; in consideration of the parties’ desire to
establish rights and obligations by this Agreement; and with the intent to be bound fully by
the terms of this Agreement, the parties covenant, agree, partition, exchange and contract
as follows:

property into a tenancy in common, joint tenancy, tenancy by the
entireties, or any other form of concurrent or undivided estate or
ownership with the other Party. To be effective, the conveyance or
transfer must be in writing and signed by both Parties. No property
will become jointly owned property by performing work or expending
labor on or in the furtherance of the property without an express
contemporaneous written declaration that such rights be created.
Without such a declaration, all labor or work will be deemed
gratuitous and will not create an interest in or lien on any property.

property in the future. The Parties shall own jointly acquired property
pursuant to their proportionate contribution.

ARTICLE 4
LIABILITIES

own liabilities, including any obligations that may be imposed by law against the other
Party’s separate property.

ARTICLE 5
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

5.1. Management of Separate Property

1. Generally. The Party who owns separate property (“Owning Party”) will
have the exclusive right to possess, control, and manage the property,
including but not limited to the exclusive right to sell, gift, transfer,
encumber, devise, bequeath, or otherwise deal with the property without the
interference or joinder of the other Party (“Nonowning Party”). With respect
to the Owning Party’s property, the Owning Party is the attorney in fact of
the Nonowning Party. The Owning Party will have full power in the name
of the Nonowning Party or in the joint names of both parties to enter into
any transactions or execute any documents related to the Owning Party’s
property, independently and without the consent or privity of the Nonowning
Party. This power of attorney is deemed coupled with an interest and will
survive the disability or incapacity of the Nonowning Party. The Nonowning
Party will not be liable for any transactions involving the management of the
Owning Party’s property that requires the use of this power of attorney, and
the Owning Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Nonowning Party
harmless from any such liability.

2. Procedure for maintaining separate character. The Parties will establish


and maintain accounting procedures, records, and bank accounts sufficient
to segregate their respective separate-property interests and preserve the
separate character of their property.

______________ PREMARITAL AGREEMENT ___________

Jointly owned separate property will be independently managed by each Party in


accordance with the law of tenants in common in Texas and this Agreement, as applicable.

ARTICLE 6
CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PARTIES

6.1. Waiver of Rights and Claims to Separate Property

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party waives any right, claim,
or interest that he or she may have now or in the future to the other Party’s separate
property, whether the right, claim, or interest arises under statute, common law, or
otherwise, including but not limited to claims for reimbursement, contribution, waste,
fraud, or constructive fraud. To the extent that the separate property or the time, toil, talent,
or effort of a Party (“Contributing Party”) was or is used to pay one or more debts,
liabilities, or obligations of the other Party (“Benefited Party”), or was or is used to
improve, enhance, benefit, or otherwise increase the value of the Benefited Party’s separate
property, the Contributing Party’s separate property or time, toil, talent, or effort is or will
be deemed and construed for all purposes as a gift to the Benefited Party.

6.2. Waiver of All Reimbursement Claims

The Parties agree that if either Party uses his or her own separate funds to make any
payment or financial contribution toward the purchase of the other Party’s separate
property or any improvement on the other Party’s separate property, or either Party uses
community property to make a payment or financial contribution toward the purchase of
the other Party’s separate property or any improvement on the other Party’s separate
property, the property so paid for or improved will remain entirely the separate property of
the owner-spouse. Furthermore, the Party making such payment, financial contribution, or
improvement using his or her separate property shall not be entitled to reimbursement from
the owner-spouse’s separate property in the amount of the enhanced value of the separate
property, nor shall the Party have a claim for reimbursement against the other spouse. The
Parties intend to override the provisions of Texas Family Code Sections 3.401 through
3.410 (or any successor statutes) which might otherwise give one of the Parties a claim for
reimbursement (or similar claim) against the separate estate of the other Party or the
community estate, if any, of the Parties. Further, the Parties specifically agree that if the
marriage of the Parties terminates in divorce, neither Party will be entitled to acquire or be
awarded an equitable lien on the separate property of the other party or on the community
property of the Parties, if any, to secure a claim arising by reason of a claim for
reimbursement as provided in Sections 3.401 through 3.410 of the Texas Family Code (or
any successor statutes).

______________ PREMARITAL AGREEMENT ___________


A.G. Page 8 M.P.
ALLISON waives the right to assert any claim for reimbursement that she might
have in the future on behalf of or against the community estate, if any. ALLISON further
waives the right to assert any claim for reimbursement that she might have in the future
against the separate estate of MARK.

MARK waives the right to assert any claim for reimbursement that he might have
in the future on behalf of or against the community estate, if any. MARK further waives
the right to assert any claim for reimbursement that he might have in the future against the
separate estate of ALLISON.

6.3. Waiver of Rights to Husband’s Retirement Assets

ALLISON waives all right, title, and interest that she may have in MARK’s existing
and future Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) and other retirement benefits and
deferred-compensation plans, whether lump-sum or installment, arising from MARK’s
employment before or during the Marriage, all of which are partitioned and exchanged to
MARK as his separate property. ALLISON acknowledges that this waiver includes all
rights that she has or may have to receive any benefits or payments from MARK’s IRA
and other retirement benefits and deferred-compensation plans that exist before or during
the Marriage. ALLISON further waives all rights she may have to participate in any
decisions about the designation of beneficiaries, election of benefits, or any other types of
decisions to be made by MARK under his existing or future IRA plans and other retirement
benefits and deferred-compensation plans, including but not limited to any right to a
qualified joint and survivor annuity or a qualified preretirement survivor annuity.
ALLISON further acknowledges that it is her intent that MARK will have the sole and
absolute discretion under his existing or future IRA plans and other retirement benefits and
deferred-compensation plans to designate beneficiaries, elect benefits, and make any other
decisions. Thus, ALLISON agrees that if she receives any part of or benefits from MARK’s
IRA plans or other retirement benefits and deferred-compensation plans, other than under
MARK’s express designation of her as a named beneficiary, ALLISON will promptly
return such benefits to MARK or to his estate if he is no longer living. ALLISON agrees
that within ninety days after the Marriage, she will execute all forms necessary to effectuate
the waivers contained in this Section, including but not limited to (1) a beneficiary
designation naming someone other than ALLISON as beneficiary, (2) an election to waive
any preretirement survivor annuity, (3) an election to waive any joint and survivor annuity,
and (4) an election to designate a benefit payment option.

6.4. Waiver of Rights to Wife’s Retirement Assets

MARK waives all right, title, and interest that he may have in ALLISON’s existing
and future Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) and other retirement benefits and
deferred-compensation plans, whether lump-sum or installment, arising from ALLISON’s
employment before or during the Marriage, all of which are partitioned and exchanged to
ALLISON as her separate property. MARK acknowledges that this waiver includes all
rights that he has or may have to receive any benefits or payments from ALLISON’s IRA
and other retirement benefits and deferred-compensation plans that exist before or during
the Marriage. MARK further waives all rights he may have to participate in any decisions
about the designation of beneficiaries, election of benefits, or any other types of decisions
to be made by ALLISON under her existing or future IRA plans and other retirement
benefits and deferred-compensation plans, including but not limited to any right to a
qualified joint and survivor annuity or a qualified preretirement survivor annuity. MARK
further acknowledges that it is his intent that ALLISON will have the sole and absolute
discretion under her existing and future IRA plans and other retirement benefits and

decisions. Thus, MARK agrees that if he receives any part of or benefits from ALLISON’s
IRA plans or other retirement benefits and deferred-compensation plans, other than under
ALLISON’s express designation of him as a named beneficiary, MARK will promptly
return such benefits to ALLISON or to her estate if she is no longer living. MARK agrees
that within ninety days after the Marriage, he will execute all forms necessary to effectuate
